Tepeh Towers

This is a 30 minute easy rock route in the viscinity of Eldorado. It can be reached in about 45 minutes from the East Ridge camp by heading N/NW to approximately 48.5463, -121.1306. Climb high up on the glacier to where it rests on the rock and cross the moat. Ascend 1 short low 5th class pitch and scramble the rest of the way to the summit. Decend by down climbing or rappelling back onto the glacier from the rappel station directly below the summit.

Note: You will need a backcountry permit from the Marblemount Ranger Station for the Inspiration zone to camp in this area (

). They will also probably stick you with a bear canister.

Use the Eldorado Creek approach as described in the Eldorado Peak Climbing page. Follow directions to the East Ridge camp. Tepeh Towers are about 45 minutes N/NW from there.

Crampons, ice axe, pickets, and glacier gear for the approach. Single rack to 2", 60m rope, slings for anchor building.
